SHANGHAI, China - The Clippers went from missing two guards in the first game in China to potentially having both back for the second game.
Head coach Doc Rivers said Chris Paul (fractured finger) and Austin Rivers (mouth trauma) both practiced Tuesday morning in Shanghai and should be available for Wednesday’s game against the Hornets.
“They both played very physical today in practice, so that was good to see,” Doc Rivers said. “That’s what I was trying to decide. If I thought they were shying away from contact, I wouldn’t have played them tomorrow, but they both played normal.
